  "account": "The Detroit Tigers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 10-1 on Tuesday, with Spencer Torkelson hitting a game-winning three-run homer in the fourth inning. Torkelson's blast was part of a four-run inning that solidified Detroit's lead. Max Clark added a one-run double earlier in the fourth, contributing to Detroit's dominant performance.\n\nThe Blue Jays bullpen struggled, as Alejandro Kirk made an error that allowed two more runs to score in the eighth inning. Hao-Yu Lee connected for a solo home run in the ninth to add to the Tigers' victory. Toronto's offense was largely ineffective, with relief pitchers Jacob Waguespack, Kyle Finnegan, and Brant Hurter all facing the mound in the late innings.\n\nDrew Anderson (5-6) allowed just two hits and three walks over five scoreless innings, pitching effectively before the bullpen faltered. Detroit's bullpen included Jacob Waguespack, Kyle Finnegan, and Brant Hurter, who took over the late-game struggles. The Blue Jays remain two games back of Cleveland for the final wild-card spot in the American League after a narrow 7-6 victory over the Chicago White Sox in their previous game.",
